Fewer Evangelicals voted in midterm elections; Voters rejected men in women’s sports; 84% of teens seek advice from Mom
Friday, 6 November, 2026
It’s Friday, November 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I’m Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christians & Muslims in India ask for repeal of “anti-conversion” law On October 29th, Christian minority leaders and human rights advocates met in the southern state of Karnataka in India, demanding the immediate repeal of the contentious “anti-conversion” law, reports International Christian Concern. At a joint press conference in Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka State, prominent Christian and Muslim leaders called on the current Indian National Congress government to fulfill its electoral promise to scrap the misnamed “Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Act, 2022.” You see, Karnataka passed the anti-conversion law in 2022 under a previous Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party administration, amid intense civil society protests. Although a secular government subsequently unseated the BJP Party after promising to restore minority protections, the administration has hesitated to formally repeal the legislation, drawing sharp criticism from the advocates who helped elect it. Romans 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile." Send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Indian Ambassador to America, Vinay Kwatra, urging him to help repeal the contentious “anti-conversion” law in Karnataka State, India. Address your letter to the Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008. Arabic-speaking Christians gaining access to Biblical scholarship Arabic-speaking Christians are gaining access to biblical scholarship in their language. The Arab Baptist Theological Seminary in Lebanon released Arabic editions of internationally respected commentaries in September. Christian Daily International noted, “The series [is] a working tool for pastors, teachers and theology students across the Arabic-speaking world, where … thorough and reliable commentaries have long been scarce.” Fewer Evangelicals voted in midterm elections Here in the United States, exit polls show where Republicans lost ground in the midterm elections. Conservatives lost support from Protestants and Catholics this year. Specifically, white born-again or Evangelical Christians tend to support Republicans by a wide margin. But fewer of them voted this year. Evangelicals made up 17 percent of the electorate in 2026, down from 23 percent in 2024. Also, a majority of parents supported President Donald Trump in 2024. But a majority of parents supported Democrats this year amid inflation and cost of living concerns. Voters in Arizona and Nebraska rejected men in women’s sports Despite the blue wave, voters did not support transgenderism on Election Day. Arizona and Nebraska approved ballot initiatives to protect women’s sports. The measures prohibit men, pretending to be women, from participating in women’s sports. Similar proposals are set to pass in the Democrat strongholds of Colorado and Washington state. Early counts also show Coloradans supporting Proposition 135. The measure would protect children from transgender surgeries. Supreme Court might hold Colorado accountable for religious liberty The U.S. Supreme Court heard a religious freedom case on Tuesday. Colorado is trying to keep Catholic preschools out of a publicly-funded preschool program. Participating schools must be open to students regardless of their so-called sexual orientation or gender identity. The Catholic organizations will not sign off on this. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority signaled support for the religious preschools during the hearing. Arkansas is the most pro-life state Americans United for Life released its 2027 Life List last week. Arkansas won the top spot. Listen to the announcement from Sarah Zagorski with Americans United for Life. ZAGORSKI: “Today, I have the privilege of announcing that Americans United for Life has recognized Arkansas as the most pro-life state in the nation for the seventh consecutive year.” The list ranks all 50 states based on a range of bioethical issues from conception to natural death, not just abortion. The top states on the report are Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Indiana, and Tennessee. The worst states are Oregon, Vermont, New Jersey, Hawaii, and Washington. 84% of teens seek advice from Mom And finally, the Barna Group released a report on where teenagers turn to for advice. The top source of advice for teens is their mom at 84 percent. Over 70 percent of young people seek advice from their dad or friends. Over 60 percent turn to Jesus, the Bible, an adult mentor, or a teacher. Over 50 percent seek advice from their pastor or youth pastor. And just 39 percent turn to YouTube. Spiritually-engaged teenagers were much more likely to seek advice from the Bible at 78 percent. In 2 Timothy 3:15, the Apostle Paul wrote, “You must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, November 6th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
